OK, you are on this quite a bit. I am late, again. I am going to review my
antenna this weekend and see if I can't get it up higher.

I certainly appreciate the reports you give as I am tracking when other's
find stations so that I can use that data, time, etc to find them.

The antenna here is only 9' above the ground.

I used to use an old DOS (or Windows) program called Geoclock that
displayed a world map with the sun and the sunrise/sunset line on
it, which is useful for guessing what times stuff would be coming
in.

Anyone know of a good X/Linux equivalent? I've got the KDE world clock
toy, but it only displays the current time and won't display arbitrary
time like Geoclock could.

I do not Know about that program was, but i found some. The catch is you
need to know the latitude and longitude of that location.
If do you like it, reply to this post.
Thanks :)

NOt quite what you wanted, but close

Perhaps a sun/moon/satellite tracking program may be adapted?

This version has a graphical map, but looks like it may be a pain to set
up. I haven't tried it.

Well I guess I gotta get one of those fancy Drake receivers! Just kidding.
Maybe someday!

How about xearth? Gives you a choice of projections, can make it
your root window or run in its own window.

Also SWLTool has a simple globe representation of the world
with day/night shading.
